• Photos from NOW's 25th anniversary party : NOW Magazine celebrated its 25th anniversary in style with a monster blowout at the Phoenix nightclub.

Mayor David Miller stopped by, as did past NOW cover subjects like local icon Lorraine Segato, comic Joanna Downey, chanteuse Mary Margaret O'Hara, queer cabaret star Ali Eisner and all-girl power trio Hunter Valentine.
